| Student: Oh, Michael, just hearing you speak fills my [[heart]], so it is hard for me to talk. Thank you for [[visiting]] with us like this. I don't know almost any [[human being]] who was aware of what are would not be overcome with [[joy]] to be with you, to actually hear you speaking through a living, human being, our beloved D. | | Student: Oh, Michael, just hearing you speak fills my [[heart]], so it is hard for me to talk.

− | I would like to [[share]] one thing with you. From time to time, the other day I was [[reading]] something where our scientists now have dated the age of [[the universe]] to exactly [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_the_universe 13.6 billion years old], and I was thinking how you, yourself, are over 400 billion years old. And it occurred to me that once you read The [[Urantia Book]] and fall in love with it, it puts you in two worlds. All of a sudden you're in a world where there are trillions of [[inhabited planets]] in the [[master universe]], and on and on and on. | + | I would like to [[share]] one thing with you.

| And meanwhile you're in a [[society]] that [[wonders]] if there's another inhabited planet out there somewhere. And all of something, Michael, I had a wonderful [[feeling]] that in a tiny, tiny minuscule way we are now living your life, a son of God, with a [[memory]] of leaving [[Paradise]], wants to [[survive]] into a [[galaxy]]. And yet being around people in your day maybe wondered if the Earth was flat, or whatever they believed then. What you did for this [[revelation]], that no matter how it tears us in two or forces us to live our lives, I think that's a wonderful stretch for us, like keeping one foot on the dock and one foot in the boat. But that could be the best way to be. Thank you. | | And meanwhile you're in a [[society]] that [[wonders]] if there's another inhabited planet out there somewhere.

| Michael: There will come a time when you will not only see the trees, but each leaf and all of the components of the leaf, as your [[vision]] becomes more refined and well-honed. You will see all the lovely [[qualities]] that not only you but other people are [[becoming]], and all the ways that [[the Father]] works within the individual, to make them so breathless and beautiful. Oh, what joy it is to be alive! ([[Amen]]) And be in my peace, my son. (Thank you, Michael.) | | Michael: There will come a time when you will not only see the trees, but each leaf and all of the components of the leaf, as your [[vision]] becomes more refined and well-honed.

− | Student: Yes, Michael, over the past few days I feel like I'm being stretched beyond my own [[perceived]] [[limitations]] in this material world I live in. It seems like the other day where situations have arisen that the only place I could go was to [[God]], and to relinquish myself totally into His will and agenda for me. And I lay down on the floor, and spread my arms out and said 'stretch me as far as I can go', because I do want to live as you lived upon this earth - to see things clearly and truthfully, and to see myself in others. And I noticed a [[peace]] come over me that had [[clarity]], [[purpose]] and [[vision]]. And everything I've been reading points to the same direction and vision, whether it be the [[Course in Miracles]] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversations_with_God Conversations with God] or a beautiful prayer book I have, How Prayer Can Change your Life. It says God only. | + | Student: Yes, Michael, over the past few days I feel like I'm being stretched beyond my own [[perceived]] [[limitations]] in this material world I live in.

| And this is how I want and [[desire]] to live. I want to break through these material [[limitations]] that I feel oppressed by. I want to be [[financially]] free, be free of [[debt]], so I can help and give to others, and [[share]] with them who I am. | | And this is how I want and [[desire]] to live.
